  1. A police officer travels 45 km in the first hour of patrol and 30 km in the second hour. What is the average speed over the two hours?

    Answer: 37.5 km/h

    Total distance is 75 km over 2 hours; 75 ÷ 2 = 37.5 km/h average speed.

  2. A police station records 240 incidents in 12 months. What is the average number of incidents per month?

    Answer: 20

    240 incidents divided by 12 months equals 20 incidents per month.

  3. A forensic team photographs a crime scene and takes 5 photos every 3 minutes. How many photos will they take in 45 minutes?

    Answer: 75

    45 ÷ 3 = 15 sets of 3 minutes; 15 × 5 = 75 photos total.

  4. A police budget is $1,200,000. If 40% is allocated to staffing, how much is spent on staffing?

    Answer: $480,000

    $1,200,000 × 0.40 = $480,000 allocated to staffing.

  5. An officer works a 38-hour week. If overtime is paid at 1.5 times the normal rate of $32/hour, what is the overtime hourly rate?

    Answer: $48

    $32 × 1.5 = $48 per hour for overtime.

  6. Crime statistics show a 15% decrease from 400 incidents last year. How many incidents occurred this year?

    Answer: 340

    15% of 400 = 60; 400 − 60 = 340 incidents this year.
